Being a human is hard, but it can feel a little easier when you’ve got a soothing migraine stick on hand.

Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. The dark color is perfectly sheer. It also adds the most beautiful color to your lips. I am a Clinique Black Honey lip fan, and this gives me the same look for a fraction of the cost. I love it and have multiple that I keep in various spots. Not sticky either, which is my biggest gripe about lip glosses. My hair doesn’t get stuck in this like some glosses, but I get the shine." —Hamps5

Get it from Amazon for $8 (also available in four other shades). 

Promising review: "These earplugs are so good!! I had originally bought a completely different brand (because I was being cheap), and let me tell you, you get what you pay for. I found these Loop earplugs and decided to give them a try, and I’m so glad that I did! They are so comfortable! Made from silicone, so they are flexible and fit great. I’ve slept with them in all night without issues. The noise cancelling is fantastic! Now, does it block everything? No, but I think that’s a good thing for safety reasons. They do block my husband’s chainsaw snoring, and that is exactly what I needed them to do." —melanie98837

Get it from Amazon for $24.95 (available in three colors; check out Loop's Amazon Storefront for more options related to concerts, offices, and parenting!). 

Promising review: "Love this product! I work out on the go, so I’m always in need of a water bottle, but I hate carrying a big one around all the time. This bottle is a nice size to use while running/walking (lightweight and easy to carry), it doesn’t leak like most plastic bottles, and it’s easy to roll/fold up and store in a bag after you’re done. Overall, great design and functionality. 10/10." —LaMonica

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in six colors and a two-pack). 

Note that the AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! 

Promising review: "I have always struggled with oily skin. I've finally gotten my oil under control thanks to my current skincare routine, but SPF remained a challenge. Nearly everything I tried left me shiny or quickly got greasy during the day. This SPF spray is a super fine mist that almost feels like nothing is spraying on my face. It doesn't leave behind anything shiny, which is unheard of for an SPF 50 spray. I personally love the smell; however, some may find it a bit too much for their liking." —Stephanie Hushcha

Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (also available as a two-pack). 

Tower 28 is an Asian woman-owned business designed for sensitive skin. Their products are free of any sensitivity-causing ingredients and are also vegan and cruelty-free.

Promising review: "I work out a lot and have a very active job. I keep one in my gym bag and one in my work bag. I spray it straight after a sweat session and during my breaks at work. Not only does it keep my breakouts at bay, but it’s so fresh and cooling on hot days." —Nicole

Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in three sizes). 

Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered, but then I got an email saying it was in stock, and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." —Kelsey B.

Promising review: "Touchland's hand sanitizers are absolutely beautiful! Not only is the packaging functional for travel, but it’s pretty! Absolutely no issues with the product or the design of the packaging leaking, and it’s extremely easy to use! No sticky residue, and your hands feel completely hydrated and soft after each use. I’m especially impressed with this perk, considering most hand sanitizers leave your skin feeling tight and dry. No leaks, great hydration, phenomenal fragrance…. what’s not to LOVE!!!? 🤍 SPOIL YOURSELF, NO EXCUSES NECESSARY!" —Briana R. 

Get it from Amazon for $16 (available in Lily of the Valley and Rose scents and a three-pack; check out Touchland's Amazon storefront for more options). 

Check out a TikTok of the Portawipes in action. 

Portawipes is a small business that specializes in personal care products for travel. 

Promising review: "I kept some of these in my fanny pack and backpack while traveling. I used them when bathrooms didn't have any toilet paper, and also for cleaning spills or washing my hands when out and about. Really nice peace of mind to have them around. Easy to use with just a few drops of water to make them expand, or add more for cleaning." —Camille

Get a 100-pack from Amazon for $14.27 (also available in other pack amounts). 

It also has no artificial dyes or colors. 

Promising review: "I love Beekeeper’s products! I usually buy the line made for kids, but this is the first time I got one for myself because I had a slight sore throat that was keeping me from sleeping. As soon as I received it, I applied it to my throat and the pain eased right away. I definitely recommend it — it worked for me! It has a slight tingling sensation, but it’s totally fine." —Elizabeth

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in two other formulas). 

Promising reviews: "I’ve been searching for the holy grail of lip balms, and THIS IS IT. Seriously. I’ve been on the hunt for years, using everything from fancy French balms to plain organic nut butters, and have always needed to reapply hourly. This stuff is magic. Just the tiniest dot keeps my lips super soft and hydrated for hours, even through drinking and eating. The grapefruit smells great, but isn’t overwhelming. I’ll never go back to anything else." —Spectacle

Get it from Amazon for $19 (available in 11 scents and a bundle with the lip mask)

Alpine Start is a small business that specializes in instant coffee, lattes, matcha, and creamers. 

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says: "I'm picky about coffee, but I love these. I picked them up at the recommendation of a friend because the BuzzFeed Shopping Team wakes up long before dawn on Prime Days, and I knew I was going to want something quick and fast to guzzle to wake myself up. I wasn't expecting it to also be DELICIOUS?? I have made sure my pantry is stocked with it ever since, and I always take one traveling when I'm in hotels and don't know the lay of the land. Going out to get my coffee every morning is my favorite "treat" of the day, but this is so delicious that it cushions the blow on days I can't."

Promising review: "In the world of instant coffee, Alpine Start is the clear winner for me. I’ve tried various coffee crystals — supermarket house brands, Starbucks, Mount Hagen, Death Wish, Nescafé, etc. Alpine Start delivers the smoothest flavor without bitterness or a burnt flavor. The taste isn’t overpowering, so if you typically like a dark, strong roast, you may find it a little weak. It also isn’t the same as freshly ground coffee. Nothing compares to that, right? But as a quick, easy to make and portable alternative, this is good stuff." —ZombieCat

Basic Vigor is a US-based small business specializing in all-natural migraine relief products.

Promising review: "I’ve had migraines all my life — I’m 31 now. I’ve been on all kinds of prescriptions that work, but make me so sleepy... I’ve been using this stick for one week now, and it’s amazing! I rubbed it on at the first hint of a headache/migraine, and it takes care of it fast. I haven’t taken a prescription migraine since I started using it." —Amanda Braswell

Check out a TikTok of the Kindle in action. 

Promising review: "This is such a great Kindle! It’s lightweight, the perfect size for going in a purse or bag, and the matcha is SUCH a great color. I already have a Paperwhite SE that I love, so I decided to get this Kindle for travel purposes. The battery life isn’t as great as my Paperwhite, but it still lasts me a while with daily reading! It fits perfectly in my hands and makes reading very comfortable. The only thing it is missing is the warm light option, but that is not a deal breaker for me. If you are looking for a lightweight and comfortable Kindle, this is the one for you." —Christine Heath

Get it from Amazon for $109.99 (available in black and matcha, and with or without an ad lock screen or three months of Kindle Unlimited). 

Promising review: "I love Boka products, especially these chewable mouthwash tablets. I keep a few in my bag and work lockets when I want a clean mouth feel and fresh breath feel. Great for long travel days too!" —Tawny 

Get a 90-piece container from Amazon for $19.99 (available in lemongrass mint and citrus mint and a pack of two). 

Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." —Chrissy

Get it from Amazon for $4.50 (available in a pack of six). 

Basically, forcefully sipping through this lil' gizmo helps disrupt the reflex arc between the irritated vagus nerve and phrenic nerve, which can be to blame for short-term hiccups. If you’re concerned about your hiccups, talk to your doctor. Read more about hiccup causes and treatment at Cleveland Clinic. 

Promising review: "I was admittedly skeptical at first but I gotta say, I was SO wrong because this thing is SO right. Wow. I mean, it's instant relief. I get the hiccups sometimes, and they'll last for a super long time, and they kind of hurt sometimes, too. This straw, after one sip, makes them disappear in what feels a miraculous way! If I could give 100 stars, I wouldn't hesitate." —MW

Promising review: "Will be buying again!! This is a fantastic product. I have incredibly thin hair that gets very oily very easily. This is the first product that I’ve tried that actually works! I am so very happy!" —Katie_0_Baker

Get it from Amazon for $17.60+ (available in three colors and as refills). 

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord loves these: "I am not exaggerating about how obsessed I am with every flavor in the 'soft' variety of this protein bar — it is painful for me to write about this publicly because if they sell out, my world will go cold and dark and meaningless. I have one with my breakfast every weekday — the caramel chocolate tastes like a thicker Milky Way bar, and the salted peanut caramel legit tastes like a Twix. I don't remember who I was before I started eating these every day, and I don't care to remember. If you're like, "If you love them so much, wouldn't you gatekeep?" the answer is yes!! Because I bought four packs of this just now and will be consistently hoarding them in my apartment until the end of time!!"

Stasher is a small business that specializes in storage and meal prep products. 

Psst — people use these for travel products too, especially for toiletries they're worried about leaking in their bags! 

Promising review: "I have tried other brands, and this brand always delivers. I've had this particular one for almost two years. I use it weekly, and it still looks brand new. It is easy to clean, and the sandwich bag size is great for so many food items. It seals well and stays sealed until it is opened again. The food stays fresh, and it helps reduce the amount of one-use plastic bags." —emon

Get it from Amazon for $12.45+ (available in 14 colors; check out Stasher's Amazon storefront for more sizes and styles). 

BodyGlide is a small business that specializes in chafe-preventing personal care products. 

Promising review: "Wow. I took this on vacation, during which we walked about 20,000 steps daily. And of course, my shoes begin to rub against parts of my feet, terribly. But I smeared this on, and it was amazing. I did have to reapply a few times a day, in public, but I highly recommend this!! I used it on my toes, ankle area, etc., and my feet felt great (normal)." —Y.

Promising review: "Wow. I was miserable at work. I bought everything I could think of to help with the intense foot pain from standing up at work; this was one of the products, and now I can’t go without it! It works. I just ordered another one because I’m low on mine. I use it every night and hour before clocking in at work and even forget how my feet used to hurt until I get home, and I’m like, 'Wait a second, my feet didn’t hurt.' I’m not kidding when I say this is it! Amazing product!" —Amazon Customer 

It even includes two extra detachable pill containers so you can have backups in your bag! 

Promising review: "Finally, a sturdy pill caddy that will not open up and spill my pills out into my overnight travel bag. Very pleased with this product." —Al Symbal

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four styles). 

Promising review: "We bought these recently and used them on a long plane trip and at Disneyland. They help with [our son's] anxiety and kept him from biting and chewing his fingers, something he does when he is heightened." —Amazon Customer 

Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in as set of 18). 

Gloves in a Bottle is a small business that specializes in skincare products for working professionals. 

Promising review: "I am a teacher and literally wash or sanitize my hands several times per hour! If I'm not washing my hands, I'm cleaning all the surfaces in my classroom with harsh cleaners. I thought I would try this lotion, and I am thankful I took a chance! It is not only moisturizing, but it's not too scented or greasy. We are not allowed to wear perfume at school due to allergies, and this works perfectly. The best part is that after you do wash your hands, you can still feel the lotion! My cuticles are staying moisturized, too. I am going to get more for home and the car." —Chianti

Get it from Amazon for $19.75 (also available in a botanical set and as a pack of two, three, and 10). 

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord uses this: "I started using this myself a few years back (although this is former BuzzFeeder Kayla Suazo's lovely human face above), and I am mad that I wasted time with other concealers for so long. I am a deeply impatient person who likes to look good and does not like to put in effort in any way, shape, or form, and Maybelline created this so that people like me could gracelessly slap it on in the morning and be like "OK, REFLECTION, YOU GOT THIS" before being on their merry way. It never cakes, I look way more awake than I have any right to, and I never struggle to blend it the way I do with other concealers. 11/10 subscribe."

Alleyoop is a woman-owned small business that specializes in functional makeup products. 

Here's what former BuzzFeeder Jasmin Sandal has to say about it: "I gotta say, I love the concept of the Pen Pal from Alleyoop! After using all of the functions (eyeliner, highlighter, lip liner, eyebrow pencil) and as someone who LOVES makeup but was applying as little as humanly possible during lockdown, I think it’s a great tool for anyone looking to streamline their routine. It's ideal to use for touchups come the end of the work day, or a subtle, minimalist way to apply makeup in the a.m. The brow pencil is particularly soft and pigmented, and filled in my eyebrows quickly. I just adore the ease of application of each product, and appreciate the universal, does-it-all-for-you concept. Plus, it saves me so much room in my already-overflowing makeup bag!"

Get it from Amazon for $19 (available in three shades).

This charger holds up to four charges for the iPhone 17 Pro, 3.5 charges for the Samsung S25, 2.2 charges for the iPad mini, and 23 charges for the AirPods Pro. It also has a built-in flashlight! 

Promising review: "Excellent, long-lasting battery. Great for traveling. Took this to Japan and had it powering two cell phones as well as a portable Wi-Fi device. Never drained the battery below 65% despite charging all three devices for up to twelve hours a day. Since returning, it's become a regular item in my day pack. Highly recommend." —Michael

Promising review: "A friend of mine told me about these. Brilliant, I can't believe I lived without them for so long!

Promising review: "These were awesome! My entire family suffers from motion sickness, especially carsickness. My little one gets sick in the car on a regular car ride through the city. So, I knew that a long road trip was going to be a disaster. I was amazed at how well these bands worked for everyone! Not one single person complained about being sick for 12 hours in the car. I have suffered for decades, and now I know better. I will never travel without mine again!" —1SmartCookie

Promising reviews: "This parasol is completely opaque; no sunlight gets through whatsoever. From that alone, you have a 5–10 degree temperature difference compared to those unfortunate non-parasol-wearing folks. It also covers your chest and shoulders, and that was a large concern for me as hats don’t cover those areas. I have tested it out already on several 100-degree-plus days in desert heat, and it is amazing! I am no longer scared of parking lots and having to walk a distance to the store because of no close parking. This parasol is lightweight and easy to put in your bag. I may get another just in case!" —mandy

Click & Carry is a Shark Tank and QVC-featured small business that specializes in easy carry accessories. 

Promising review: "I live in a second floor apartment and LOVE these! It's so hard to carry several bags up the stairs not only because it kills my hands but the weight is also an issue. I was able to carry ALL my bags up in one trip. The padded shoulder allowed me to carry everything over my shoulder. Once I figured out how to put half the bags in front and the rest down the back of my shoulder it was a breeze! I'm buying myself a second one and also buying a set for my sister. Highly recommend!" —cheri

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in six colors and as a two-pack). 

Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok a bunch of times and finally decided to get it. I hate the paper lint rollers, they never seem to work that well and I hate that I have to throw them away. This is awesome because it fits right in my bag, and I’m able to reuse it over and over. It’s super sticky and works great!" —Ella
